Chicken and Vegetable Skewers Recipe
Enjoy these flavorful grilled chicken and vegetable skewers, perfect for a quick and healthy meal with a tropical twist.
Ingredients
Protein
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound, cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 1 medium red bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 1 medium zucchini (sliced into thick rounds or half-moons)
- 1 medium red onion (cut into wedges)
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes (optional)
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (optional, for a tropical twist)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Optional Garnish
- Fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro) (for garnish)
Instructions
- Mix olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Marinate the chicken in the mixture for 15-20 minutes. Prepare vegetables by chopping into bite-sized pieces.
- Thread chicken and vegetables onto skewers, alternating ingredients. Soak wooden skewers in water beforehand if using.
- Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F and vegetables are tender.
- Remove skewers from grill, let rest briefly, then garnish with fresh herbs and serve.
Notes
Soaking wooden skewers prevents burning. Feel free to add pineapple for extra flavor.
